A stumbling start
Article Abstract:
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder's, who took office in Oct 1999, has had a difficult time establishing political direction and maintaining political support. He wavered over his support for liberalizing citizenship requirements when Germans in the state of Hesse rejected the idea. His support for eliminating the reprocessing of nuclear fuels crumbled when the European Union and German corporations disagreed with him. His party lost their majority in Parliament's Upper House. Public polls rate him highly, however.

Evasion and error
Article Abstract:
Early election returns in Germany showed Gerhard Schroder's Social Democratic Party (SPD) ahead of Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The leftist Greens managed 6.5%, while the Free Democratic Party polled at 6.3%. Many predict that Schroder may form a coalition with the CDU because he is uncomfortable with the Green's policies.
